Conservation Note
Operators increasingly require reef‑safe sunscreen and limit numbers in cenotes—follow guide instructions, avoid soaps, and pack out all trash to protect groundwater and jungle habitat.
Cenotes are karst sinkholes formed by collapsed limestone and were vital freshwater sources for the Maya; many were considered sacred sites for offerings and ceremonies.
